There’s further evidence that the world will one day become one giant theme park. The nation of Greece has announced plans to build a Greek mythology theme park near Athens. According to a report on MSNBC, the Greek Tourism Organization has begun an international competition for proposals. Details are sketchy. Nevertheless, we at World Hum submit several ideas for attractions. First: the Happy Prometheus Fire Show, a first-class flames-as-art exhibition held nightly. And how about “Mount Olympus,” a high-speed roller coaster ride through an imposing Matterhorn-like peak? Finally, we envision the River Styx Rapids, a dizzying whitewater boat ride featuring winding turns and a 200-foot vertical drop into Hades. Who knows? After that, the kids might even take up reading.
